The same can't be said for the millions of people who unfollowed Charles over the weekend after Tati Westbrook, a fellow makeup artist and former mentor, posted a video accusing the 19-year-old of dishonest and predatory behavior.

CoverGirl’s prized cover boy is under fire after tweeting that he's afraid to go to Africa for fear of contracting Ebola.

Male makeup gurus are having a moment, and James Charles Dickinson is adding another. The 17-year-old YouTube sensation, known simply as James Charles on social media, boasts more than 70,000 subscribers, which comparatively isn’t as much as some other major male beauty YouTubers, like Manny Gutierrez (Manny Mua) and Patrick Starrr (both nearing 2 million each). Still, it’s more than enough for CoverGirl, which announced Charles as its latest ambassador — and the first young man to receive such an honor.

Most drivers have done it - fiddled with a CD, talked on a cell phone or scolded a child while behind the wheel, getting momentarily distracted from the road.

"Best Mascara Ever!" You've probably heard it before, but here goes again: the best mascara in the world is Maybelline Great Lash. I don't know what they put in it, or why no one else can seem to come close to matching the quality of this product, but it really, really works. I feel awful posting this, because I just signed a contract to be a spokesperson for Cover Girl's new anti-clumping mascara. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it's GREAT!!! How about you, sucias?
